Extended description

Brian Oldman is in somewhat of a rut lately. His family life sucks, his love life is fleeting, he’s too gay for even the gayest of individuals, and his waistline just won’t get any smaller. So he does what any sane person would do in this sort of depressive state. He plans out his suicide. Over the course of about four months Brian tries to live it up and pay off past debts before delving into the blackness of his depression. Even with the help of his good friend and roommate Paul he still can’t seem to find a reason to live. A shadow has been cast from a tragedy almost two years old and will not let go of him until the very end. Tall people have no feelings? Right

I loved it. It was sad and it told a very painful story. I have lived with depression for like 2 years and seeing him suffer brought back real dark memories.
You simply are the best

As someone who is gay and also suffers from a lifetime of Major Depression, the main character's " depressive moods, thoughts and behaviors" are 100% accurate of a clinically depressed person. Certain parts though appeared "exaggerated a bit" I guess to create the added drama needed.
It appears the author suffers from depression as well becuase there is no way a "non depressed" person can write what a depressed person is "thinking aka interpreting" the moment certain situation arises - you have to be one period.
It was a "tough read" for me for certain parts were like complete chapters of my life but the book kept me glued to the last letter.
The author did a superb job keeping you hooked to the story line. You can't help but be concerned about the principal character "Brian" throughout the entire book.
I must reveal the story is extremely heartbreaking but beautifully written.

I found myself digging into this book from the moment I read the title. It took me almost 3 days to make sure I read it on my free time and it definitely was one of the most heartfelt one I had read. Though there were some grammatical errors, I can definitely feel what the idea was being shared upon. It was both very informative and well for me, reflective of what I once was. 5 stars. :)

This story is a fascinating look into the mind a a severely depressed person. The author provides psychological information (some accredited some not) pertinent to the story and adds insight into the downward spiral someone with a depressive disorder might go through. The story is plausible and well researched. The accuracy of the facts aside, the story is also a good read. The characters are well rounded and the main character has a full personality that wavers back and forth between thoughts of suicide and brief moments of happiness. I couldn't have wished for more from any book let alone one I got free from the internet.

Please not just rewrite but get this through and editor or something.
I really wanted to read this book but 9% in I gave up.
The countless errors in tense, sentense structure and POV just make it unreadable. Sorry
